The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
Curiosity

Hao Zhao had only just come out back then from his room, wanting to meet Yue Yie to inquire more details regarding the tournament that would soon be in the title in Dahan Autumn city.

Where even though Hao Zhao has absolutely no thoughts of difficulties when the tournament is held, is, Hao Zhao was not the type of person who would foolishly underestimate because it understood that it was arrogance that could plunge him into defeat.

“Tournament will be held soon, the Treasure Lantern must have information related to which sect will join also anyone young swordsman who will compete," how was Hao Zhao in the middle of his steps towards Yue Yie's room.

It wasn't long until Hao Zhao finally got there, where at the door was already one imperial soldier with his full armor looking on guard.

Hao Zhao stopped right before the soldier, focusing his eyes on the soldier's face, immediately Hao Zhao recognized the soldier as the one he had knocked down not long ago.

“You came here again? Do the members of the Iron Mask want to make trouble again here?" hao Zhao asked the soldier.

“Oh .. no. Don't get me wrong, I came here just to escort the noble lady of the city lord. Please do not hesitate once again as long as the strike is like that," said the soldier who seems to remember who Hao Zhao was.

Hao Zhao heard it immediately stared in full questioning, after which said, “If it's like that, quickly step aside. I want to go in,"

The imperial soldier looked surprised, before saying, “Bi— can you please undo it first, the noble lady is having a conversation with Miss Yie inside. So I beg of you to let them finish the conversation first."

Hao Zhao immediately sighed softly, not at all thinking the imperial warrior would dare to once again try to make things difficult for him so as to say, “Keep away or you will feel my blow like last time."

“Ba— good, please ...."

The imperial soldier immediately stepped away from Hao Zhao's path, where even the soldier opened the door of his room desperately trying to look polite because he did not want Hao Zhao to get angry.

Hao Zhao only stepped silently into the room, clearly realizing that it seemed like the last time was still so deep in the memories of the imperial warrior.

Arriving Hao Zhao in the room, immediately greeted himself by Yue Yie as well as another young girl who looked still a dozen years old.

Neither Yue Yie nor the young girl was originally busy talking to each other, until it had to stop for a moment afterwards because of Hao Zhao's sudden presence. Where such a matter clearly made Hao Zhao confused, having to explain the intent of his presence there by how.

Hao Zhao himself initially forced his way in just to make sure, whether the words of the soldier guarding the door were true or not and it was clear by now that the soldier had not lied.

“Young Master Zhao, what was the need until you came here?" yue Yie asked, with a happy smile behind the thin cloth covering her face.

“Nothing, just ignore me. I just felt bored and constantly in the room" Hao Zhao said, after which he sat on the side bench of the room separated from the two wooden sofas where Yue Yie spoke to the young girl before him.

Yue Yie only nodded slowly in understanding, in contrast to the young girl before Yue Yie who just kept staring at Hao Zhao in silence looking so amazed.

Hao Zhao recognized who the girl was through the information he received from Jian San, Meng Dali her name. He is the only son of Meng Kiao, the new ruler of Dahan Gugur Gang Dalan's successor city.

“Oh, no. Haha, Sister Yie. What if we just continue with our previous conversation?" Meng Dali nervously, looked wrong after being caught by Yue Yie.

“That's what I want, but if Sister Dali feels annoyed or uncomfortable. What if we were to talk about this in the dining room of the Treasure Lantern alone? Sister Dali could also enjoy breakfast there," Yue Yie said, looking annoyed at how her expression knew Meng Dali seemed to be interested in Hao Zhao.

“Oh, no need Sister Yie. I had breakfast before coming here, so we can talk about everything here" said Meng Dali, whose occasional glances of her eyes kept trying to steal a glance at Hao Zhao.

Yue Yie realized that, Yue Yie also somehow looked annoyed by it. Even so, there was nothing that Yue Yie could do so that she could only endure her regret.

Hao Zhao silently continued to pay attention to the conversation that was going on between the two young girls, where somehow Hao Zhao felt like something was amiss between the two. For his own details Hao Zhao did not know, but his sense of unease could Hao Zhao feel clearly.

“Did talk between girls always look like this?" Hao Zhao was full of question marks, curious enough why the power within Yue Yie kept leaking out while having a conversation with Meng Dali.

Beside Yue Yie, Meng Dali was slightly different but still similar. Where somehow Hao Zhao could feel the fiery air of Meng Dali for some reason.

“Soul Swordsman, this level of strength can make me become more sensitive to what others feel. It was only fitting that Uncle Gao could guess that I had an internal wound in our first meeting, it could be because he could also feel the worry that I had been trying to suppress back then," mumbled Hao Zhao, quite unnerved by what his new level of strength could do.

Hao Zhao himself was more silent at that time, just listening to the conversation between Yue Yie and Meng Dali which turned out to have something to do with the tournament to be held in the city of Dahan Gutur.

“In essence, I just want to invite Sister Yie to come be the guest of honor in the tournament. Given that the Treasure Lanterns of the past few years have been so prima donna in the equipment world, I'm sure many of the participants will be happy to see Young Miss Treasure Lanterns like you," Meng Dali said, after a long conversation.

“Come? Actually there's no need for Sister Dali to ask me to do it, even with my Master when the tournament in this city is held." Yue Yie with her forced smile, was obviously still upset considering Meng Dali kept trying to glance at Hao Zhao whenever there was a chance.

“What is true like that? Even patriarch Gao too? If this is clearly an honor for my Meng family," Meng Dali said as she bowed in gratitude, apparently thinking Treasure Lantern would do that because she wanted to give face to her family.

“Don't get me wrong, we're not doing this for the Meng family or anything like that. But to support Young Master of Treasure Lantern who will compete there for the invitation ticket," said Yue Yie, not wanting Meng Dali to feel happy because of the misunderstanding.

“Young Master? Does the Treasure Lantern have it? Don't say ...."

Meng Dali immediately turned his head towards Hao Zhao, it seemed that there was no other possibility other than Hao Zhao who was most likely the Young Master in question seen from how much Yue Yie paid respect to Hao Zhao.

“True, he is Young Master Zhao. The person who would accompany me to the main tournament of the Hero Seedling in the capital," Yue Yie said with a proud smile, looking to show off the closeness that Meng Dali did not have with Hao Zhao.

“Eh? Good for you Sister Yie, I hope that Young Master Zhao does have the ability to continue his path to the imperial capital" Meng Dali said, as if aware of what Yue Yie was trying to do with her words.

“What did Sister Dali say? Young Master Zhao can obviously do that," Yue Yie said with an exasperated smile behind a thin cloth covering part of her face.

Hao Zhao only frowned upon hearing the conversation between the two, before saying, “What exactly is the cause of these two girls looking to put such annoyance on each other?"
